Mike 84C Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I remember those CL 305 or something similar. We used to ride on them from Bescot/Walsall into New Street and back and they were very bouncy going fast! Love the Bombay Emu and the Hindi/ Sanskrit ? transfers? brilliant. Now I know those Midland coaches are in safe hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius43 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Thanks Mike. I printed the transfers on white and clear decal paper. The adverts and Hindi/English signs were cropped from photos of the actual EMUs, and “straightened” in Photoshop.

leslie10646 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I watch, open-mouthed, your procession of kit-built stock, Darius. The older Southern EMUs were a real blast from the past - loved the 2HAL unit. We had EPB units on the Bracknell / Reading line in the 1980s and when I went up to London, I knew where to find the de-rated 1st Class section which had seats you sank into. Made your Standard Class trip a lot more comfortable! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayner Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Great collection, a great example of what could be achieved with MTK and DC kits and scratchbuilding in plasticard, that Bombay EMU is definitely fits into the something completely different category I have a soft spot for the older Southern Region EMUs & DEMUs from weekend day trips around London during the late 80s the sheer variety of stock and level of intensity of operation was an eye opener for someone who thought the lines out of Connolly Station were busy 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Like Leslie, I am absolutely gobsmacked at your output, Darius. Those are exceptionally realistic and superbly detailed. Rarely if ever do we see work like this - very well done indeed. I love the Indian one especially, but they're all just as good. More, please! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
